I’m due to start chemo for breast cancer and I’m so scared as I have just got over covid now I have flu I just don’t want to be feeling poorly all the time.
I'm sorry to hear that you've been so unwell recently. It's completely understandable that you're struggling at the moment ahead of starting chemotherapy.
Do you have any support around you Jody from family or friends? It can be easy at times like this to try and cope on our own but I'd encourage you to lean on those around you for help and support. Do talk with your breast care nurse, chemo nurse, or GP about how you're feeling. It's not uncommon for people to struggle after a cancer diagnosis but there is help and support available and it's great that you've taken the first step by reaching out to the Cancer Chat community.

We know that many members have said how they found it helpful to talk things through with someone outside of family and friends. If you think this might be helpful for you then you're welcome to chat with one of our nurses. I know they will be happy to offer any advice, information, and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040.
I do hope that you're feeling better from the flu virus soon and that you have a chance to rebuild some of your health before starting chemo.
Keep in touch Jody and let us know how you get on.
